The Gymnasium Incident

The situation had reached a stalemate.

Only three days had passed since they killed the male.

In those three days, the Scale-Skin Mother Demon had parasitized nearly a hundred female students, all while hiding in Pearl Academy, a place full of mages.

They knew which students were infected and how to save them in time, but they feared the Scale-Skin Mother Demon lurking in the shadows.

If they alerted her, she might escape, and those hundred promising students could die in an instant.

If so many people died without warning, even Pearl Academy as a whole could not bear the consequences.

The City Demon Hunting Squad responsible for the area would have it easy if all they faced was the Mage Court.

For Zhou Sining, the only consolation was that far fewer people had been parasitized than he had imagined.

Fewer than a hundred female students in total.

The thousands he remembered must have been the total number of people in the gymnasium.

He had been in this world for a year, and many details from the original story had slipped his mind. He remembered only the broad course of certain events.

His memory could still warn him, but he could no longer trust it completely.

As the clouds on the horizon gradually reddened, they still had not found a foolproof solution.

Even Dean Xiao and Hunter King Du Xiao were growing restless, let alone the City Demon Hunting Squad.

"Hunter King, why don't we just move in? We'll save as many as we can. If the demoness gets away, she gets away," a bald hunter said.

"How can you act when you don't even know where the Scale-Skin Mother Demon is? What if she takes more innocent students hostage? Do you think Demon Beasts are all mindless idiots?!"
